A New Twist for a Premium Aerosol Experience

Markus is a premium twist-to-lock aerosol actuator that features a textured finger pad & softer ribs for tactile grip. The matte finish actuator provides a soft, sensorial texture. The hoodless design results in 53% less resin used vs traditional aerosol actuators with over caps. The orifice is hidden when locked, reassuring consumers there is less risk for accidential actuation.

Markus is highly-customizable due its two-part component design, and allows for a gloss or matte base, and multiple color combinations. It is also available with multiple spray insert options and 360° dispensing (with BOV option).

Regional Availability: North America, EMEA, Latin America
